The 1988 was "singing" at the top of its lungs in a recent tasting. Closer to maturity than the 1990, the 1988's heavenly bouquet of cherries and coconuts, as well as its ostentatious display of honeyed pineapples and toasty oak are noteworthy. Medium to full-bodied, with excellent purity, freshness, and ripeness.
